Verse 1: (use Riff 2 for this verse) [Riff 2 at bottom of page]
D              G               D          G         D
Fears one by one, followed me home, and became reality 
       G            D            G                
I'm a failure I'm a freak, I'm a chip on your shoulder
     D             A
The last thing you need. 

Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords and Riff 2)
I shudder earthquakes at the thought of a life that's meaningless 
And with such a promising past but you can always count on me 
To choke in the end 

Chorus:
D   F#       D      D2                 G          D
  I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs
         Bm    G           D                   A            
I'll be gone, long before daylight shows it's face... 

Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords and Riff 2)
Honestly I'm taking big strides, in a race towards normalcy 
Where more is more and less is weak. Where love is crap 
Emotion speaks for us all. 

Verse 4: (use verse 1 chords and Riff 2)
What's really right? Who's who to say? I can survive alone again. 
I figured that out the hardest way. The forecast calls for fire 
But flames sound nice today. 

Chorus: (use chorus chords)
I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs 
I'll be gone, long before daylight shows it's face... 
It's old and worn-and it's mouth smiles no more 
I'm worth my weight in potting soil, maybe I've tried to hard to care

Solo: (solo to come later)
D-G x4
 
Bridge:
D  G                       D     A                         D    G                        
     I left a note on your bed.    I don't recall what it said
                          E                     G               A
Something like how I'm completely miserable and I'm better off dead.

Chorus:
I can't go on, deflate the air from both of my lungs 
I'll be gone, long before daylight shows it's face... 
It's old and worn-and it's mouth smiles no more 
I'm worth my weight in potting soil, maybe I've tried to hard to care

Outro Chorus: (repeat 3x and fade out on 3rd)
D    F#      D               D2     
  I can't go on, (I can't go on)
   G                 D          Bm     G D A
deflate the air from both of my lungs
